Nutella

The hazelnut obsession continues. Woot! This time, I give you biscotti. Non-dramatic, non-scary biscotti. It’s toasty and crunchy and nutty, but not in a weird boring way. I promise, these are really, really good cookies. Plus, they’re dipped in Nutella AND melted chocolate for extra prettiness. I mean, how can you doubt them.

A good friend of mine recently suggested I check myself into Nutella rehab. I promise I will, after this post. I just couldn’t NOT make this. No way. I had some friends over for dinner over the weekend and I needed a dessert that just couldn’t go wrong. I saw Nigella Lawson make this cheesecake…

I love cinnamon. I love Nutella. And I love muffins. So really, there was no reason to not put the three of them together. This particular adventure started with me wanting to make cinnamon donuts. And then I felt like Nutella cupcakes. Which turned into Nutella muffins with cinnamon-sugar thanks to this recipe. They’re fun…

Tonight was one of those nights when I HAD TO HAVE CAKE. But, after a long day, patience is the last thing I found in the kitchen. So, in my messy pink book of recipes, I came across a scribbled lifesaver. One that I’d tried before and it turned out to be the only microwave…

A chocolate-chip cookie has one responsibility. Be squidgy. ‘Squidgy’ is more of a taste than a word, I think. Soft, chewy and gooey. I first heard Nigella Lawson say ‘squidgy’ and it struck a chord. A cookie must be squidgy. Especially if it’s got chocolate in it.
